Remove double glazed window to get sofa in??

Lawros Tache

Hi All,

Bit of an unusual one here, at least I can't find anything similar on here, but i'd be really grateful if anyone could offer an idea of cost?

Ok, long story short...

New house. New leather suite. (expensive!) Looks like suite wont fit into room (hasn't actually arrived yet and while measurements are fine, the turning circle into the room appears to be too tight to allow it to go in)

I know, i know... i'm a thick, hands up.

But now i'm wondering if anyone could come up with an approx. cost of removing the double glazed glass from the living room window and then replacing the same glass (obviously after the sofa has been passed through!)

Is it even something which can be done? ie can same glass be used twice or would it have to be new glass?

Many thanks to anyone who can help, i really would appreciate if anyone tell me if this was at all a runner.

cheers

Can you stand it on it's end (arm) to get it around the corner?

That's the problem really Avns1s, there's a 3 seater sofa and a 4 seater. Both will fit width-wise and the three seater will probably go standing on it's end, but the 4 seater is 2.3 metres long and wont go on it's end.

Unfortunately the turning circle is too narrow to allow the 4 seater to be dropped or stood up or brought in bum-part first then back part if you know what i mean.

I genuinely think the only option might be to remove the window.

That or a chain-saw...

Thanks though :-)

I have a similar problem with a wooden wardrobe, to be removed prior to sale of a house. I also think the former owner used the services of the window installer to remove and replace the window. Would appreciate indication of costs - and would it be best to get that installer back to do it again?

Is it big

too big to go out any other way, by appearances. In fact I cannot figure out how else it would have gotten in.

Can it be dis-assembled?

NO the glass

B9K9

I dont know if the glass can be taken out. IIRc the windows are a sash type or simulated sash, so there would be need to check further. If I get your drift, you are thinking that it may only be neccessary to remove the glass panes, and yes that sounds better, if feasible. I'll get back here after however long checking takes; could be days or weeks, thanks for the clue!
